The answer is 1500 pound because 1 ton = 2,000 pounds. 1/4 of a ton = 500 pounds. So 3/4 tons = 500*3 =1500 pounds.
<u>Zeros of the function</u>
f(x) = (x + 2)² - 25
f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 2) - 25
f(x) = x(x + 2) + 2(x + 2) - 25
f(x) = x(x) + x(2) + 2(x) + 2(2) - 25
f(x) = x² + 2x + 2x + 4 - 25
f(x) = x² + 4x + 4 - 25
f(x) = x² + 4x - 21
x² + 4x - 21 = 0
x = <u>-(4) +/- √((4)² - 4(1)(-21))</u>
2(1)
x = <u>-4 +/- √(16 + 84)</u>
2
x = <u>-4 +/- √(100)
</u> 2<u>
</u>x = <u>-4 +/- 10
</u> 2<u>
</u>x = -2 <u>+</u> 5<u>
</u>x = -2 + 5 x = -2 - 5
x = 3 x = -7
f(x) = x² + 4x - 21
f(3) = (3)² + 4(3) - 21
f(3) = 9 + 12 - 21
f(3) = 21 - 21
f(3) = 0
(x, f(x)) = (3, 0)
or
f(x) = x² + 4x - 21
f(-7) = (-7)² + 4(-7) - 21
f(-7) = 49 - 28 - 21
f(-7) = 21 - 21
f(-7) = 0
(x, f(x)) = (-7, 0)
<u>Vertex</u>
<u>X - Intercept</u>
<u />-b/2a = -(4)/2(1) = -4/2 = -2
<u>Y - Intercept</u>
y = x² + 4x - 21
y = (-2)² + 4(-2) - 21
y = 4 - 8 - 21
y = -4 - 21
y = -25
(x, y) = (-2, -25)
<u />
(-4) is the same as x, so looking the conditions that are the results for the function, you realize:
-2 is the result of the function to the values of X that are under -3: the result will be -2 if x < -3
x < -3 ; x = -4 ; -4 < -3 (it's true), in other words, -4 is less than -3, so f(-4) = -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4 2/3 = 14/3 x 3/3 = 42/9. 42/9 + 7/9 = 49/9. 49/9 = 5 4/9
42/9
